The fight for parents’ rights and healthy food in public schools has just been ratcheted up a notch.
It made national news earlier this year when a North Carolina preschool student’s homemade lunch was confiscated by school officials for not meeting USDA standards, and the four-year-old was forced to trade her turkey and cheese sandwich and banana for the school’s pink-slime-filled chicken nuggets.
The nanny state was thrown into overdrive last week when an elementary student in one California school district was interrogated by police all day and subsequently suspended for five days for the dastardly crime of bringing a kombucha tea in his school lunch.
The school also reportedly told the child he may have to sign up for a youth alcoholics program. All of this was apparently done without a parent or guardian present.
